Apparently not content to simply remake the White House and the nation\u2019s capital in his own image, Trump has also cast an eye to the feet of the people who work there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys have shitty shoes,\u201d Trump allegedly told Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Oval Office last December, before retrieving a catalog and picking out four new pairs for each of them. The president\u2019s footwear of choice is Florsheim, a 134-year-old brand he seems to have fallen in love with after searching for a more comfortable option for himself. In the world of men\u2019s fashion, Florsheim is a widely available and decidedly midtier option; it typically retails for about $145. Trump, known for both gilded excess and cheapness, has apparently been paying for the shoes himself and gifting them to his (male) aides and allies. According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the haberdasher in chief\u2019s podiatric largesse, recipients include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Communications Director Steven Cheung, and Fox News host Sean Hannity. \u201cSeems to work out pretty well,\u201d Trump told Fox in March about his habit of resoling the men in his orbit. \u201cAnd now they look all spiffy and nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those fortunate enough to get a presidential rebrand appear anxious to show their appreciation. \u201cIt\u2019s hysterical because everybody\u2019s afraid not to wear them,\u201d one White House aide told the Journal. But to invert the old saw, the shoe doesn\u2019t always fit. Earlier this year, Rubio was photographed on Capitol Hill wearing a new-looking pair of black Oxfords in which his feet were positively swimming.<\/p>\n<p>All of this gave my editors an idea: send me to D.C. wearing a pair of Don\u2019s preferred wing tips. The goal was to put my feet on the line to explore one of the stranger ways in which this president\u2019s predilections have warped American governance\u2014and maybe his closest aides\u2019 toes too. And as a former Washingtonian not unfamiliar with the capital\u2019s sometimes-warped sidewalks and often-warped politicos, I also just wanted to take the Florsheims for a spin around my old city.<\/p>\n<p>But what began as something close to cosplay ended up as a daylong, 10-mile parable of Trump\u2019s presidency and the state of the Republican Party in 2026. During my trek, I spoke to GOP lawmakers who were willing to delicately mock Trump\u2019s footwear\u2014yet have done much less to constrain his more consequential flights of fancy, like unleashing troops in U.S. cities or starting a war with Iran. I met members of a Republican staffer class torn between pining for Florsheims as a status marker and scorning the president\u2019s middlebrow taste. And besides chafed heels, blisters, and toe-pinching soreness, I came away with an insight about what it means that Trump\u2019s Cabinet this time around is a much younger, greener, bro-ier, more shamelessly sycophantic, and more true-believing bunch than his first<em>. <\/em>After experiencing firsthand (firstfoot?) the pain some of them may be enduring as the price of loyalty, I think it\u2019s clear that one reason Trump\u2019s second term feels so different is that none of this iteration of strivers he has surrounded himself with can say no to their boss\u2014not on policy, not on Iran, and not even on the entirely practical question of what to put on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>Since I lack direct access to the president\u2019s munificence, my shoes came instead from a men\u2019s clothing store near where I live in Boston. From a wall display of all the Florsheims a mover and shaker in Trump\u2019s Washington could want, I picked out a lustrous pair of black cap-toed Oxfords that closely resembled the ones Trump and several top aides were photographed wearing in Davos earlier this year. Sizing was trickier. Trump has reportedly taken to guesstimating the dimensions of his aides\u2019 feet as a kind of parlor trick, a talent that Rubio\u2019s Capitol Hill clown shoes suggest needs some work. (Asked about the shoes during a congressional hearing this week, Rubio claimed that the Florsheims Trump gave him \u201care actually pretty good, they fit fine.\u201d) But Vance\u2019s account of the president interrupting important Oval Office business to ask his subordinates for their shoe size implies that at least some of the pairs he has gifted fit better. I decided to split the difference with a roomy pair that left a subtle gap behind my heel.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days later, I was in our nation\u2019s seat of power, the Florsheims in question laced firmly onto my feet. The rest of my getup combined other MAGA-coded sartorial symbols meant to replicate the experience of a Trump Cabinet member in swampy Washington: blue suit, white dress shirt, and obligatory red tie. As I set off, the shoes emitted a peppy clip-clop and a satisfying groan of distressed leather with each step.<\/p>\n<p>My odyssey began in Navy Yard, a recently built-up D.C. neighborhood where the Transportation Department is headquartered. Its leader, Sean Duffy, is on the younger and less experienced end of Trump\u2019s Cabinet; before serving in Congress, Duffy was a cast member on <em>The Real World: Boston<\/em>. He allegedly owns a pair of Trump-gifted Florsheims, which I\u2019d hoped to spot him sporting. Alas, I didn\u2019t see him or his shoes. As it turns out, Duffy may not have been in Washington that morning at all. A few weeks after my visit, he told Fox News that he has spent part of the past several months traveling the country for a reality show he\u2019s making to celebrate America\u2019s 250<sup>th<\/sup> birthday. Filming a road show like that might not require Florsheims. But Trump, a former reality TV star bent on turning the nation\u2019s semiquincentennial into a celebration of himself, presumably appreciates the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Next I made for Congress, whose storied halls seemed like a good test of the Florsheims\u2019 resilience. Fishing for my press badge, I spotted a trio of anti-Trump protesters holding handmade signs outside an entrance to the House of Representatives. One of them, a 69-year-old retired pharmaceutical microbiologist from Maryland named Robert Gerber, told me he once sold Florsheims at a suburban mall while attending college at Drexel University. It seemed like a minor victory for our civic fabric that Gerber could disagree with the president so fundamentally yet find common ground over footwear.<\/p>\n<p>Once free of the 80-degree heat and clear of the Capitol building\u2019s magnetometers, I beelined past sweaty tour groups in search of lawmakers who might own a pair of shoes from the president. Sen. Mitch McConnell, who trundled past in a wheelchair pushed by aides, seemed an unlikely suspect; besides doing less walking these days, the former GOP leader has long since fallen out of step with the president. But the more I traversed the Capitol\u2019s marbled floors, the more the shoes felt like an emblem of the simultaneous thanklessness and fecklessness of being a Republican member of Congress in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey look very nice on you,\u201d said Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas, who voted in lockstep with the president\u2019s position last year but told me he hasn\u2019t gotten a pair of shoes in return. Boozman prefers \u201csomething comfortable\u201d anyway, he said. Rubber stamp, meet rubber sole. \u201cI like \u2019em!\u201d enthused Sen. John Cornyn of Texas when I pointed to my feet. At the time, it seemed like solicitousness; in retrospect, coming from a legislator who once posted a picture of himself reading <em>The Art of the Deal<\/em>, he might have been trying to flatter POTUS instead. Still, Cornyn admitted, Trump\u2019s Florsheim \u201cproselytizing hasn\u2019t extended to me.\u201d It turned out Trump\u2019s support didn\u2019t either; last month, Cornyn lost out on the president\u2019s endorsement, then lost his primary to a MAGA-aligned challenger. The sand-colored, cream-soled shoes Cornyn wore during his concession speech, a composite of an Oxford and a sneaker, looked a lot like the ones he\u2019d been wearing when we spoke.<\/p>\n<p>I found other Florsheim-less Republicans who have crossed the president more directly. \u201cNoooo,\u201d Sen. Thom Tillis said in his North Carolina drawl when I asked if Trump had given him a pair. Tillis, who opted not to seek reelection after clashing with the president last year, was at the time still threatening to blockade Trump\u2019s nominee to lead the Federal Reserve if the administration didn\u2019t drop a nakedly political criminal probe into then-Chair Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=152\">One Weird Trick Sam Alito Used to Kill the Voting Rights Act<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other senators were less interested in indulging me. Lindsey Graham, who is reportedly among the Trump confidants to receive the fabled footwear, slipped away before I could see what was on his feet (and his office didn\u2019t respond when I asked). James Lankford, of Oklahoma, quickly confirmed that he hasn\u2019t gotten a pair from the president before scampering up a set of stairs labeled \u201cSenators Only.\u201d \u201cShoes?\u201d Bernie Sanders replied incredulously, when I approached him outside a Senate elevator, before shooing me away.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s obsession with Florsheim, which isn\u2019t known for women\u2019s footwear, aptly embodies the majority-male and explicitly patriarchal administration the president has built around himself. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a moderate Alaska Republican, laughed when I asked if he\u2019d gifted her any shoes. As of last fall, just 16 percent of Trump\u2019s Senate-confirmed nominees were women. Four of them\u2014Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer\u2014have left or will soon leave the administration, each quickly replaced with a man. How might Trump even outfit a high-status woman in his orbit? \u201cThat\u2019s a very interesting question!\u201d Murkowski threw over her shoulder as she walked away. (The White House didn\u2019t respond to my questions about Trump\u2019s shoe-bestowing habits\u2014at least not intentionally. In an email that seemed intended for his boss, a spokesman wrote, \u201cFeel like this is an ignore unless you feel otherwise \u2026\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>But even some of the Republicans who have put their foot down on Trump\u2019s footwear haven\u2019t always stood up to his more damaging impulses. Tillis, who told me that the president\u2019s beloved Florsheims might be a little too \u201cflashy\u201d for the Senate, supplied the decisive vote to confirm Hegseth, a former Fox host, as secretary of defense. And despite her reputation for bucking the president, Murkowski ended up ensuring passage of Trump\u2019s signature legislation, which stripped billions of dollars from Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to shoes, though, Murkowski showed little interest in toeing Trump\u2019s line. \u201cAbsolutely anything but a high heel,\u201d she said when I asked what she prefers to walk around the Capitol. \u201cAnd it seems like there\u2019s an awful lot of high, high heels in the White House. I don\u2019t know how they do it. They would not last in the United States Senate, I can guaran-damn-tee you that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a couple of miles spent crisscrossing the Capitol complex, I was starting to see Murkowski\u2019s point. The pad of my left foot felt as if I\u2019d stepped on a sanding belt. With each stride, I squirmed deeper into the Florsheims\u2019 tapered toes in a vain effort to spare my chafing heels. But I gamely soldiered back into the sunlight and onto the pathways that line the National Mall, each ginger step kicking up dust. As I ambled past groups doing yoga and vacationing families lounging on the grass, pain started to radiate through my ankles and up my shinbones before settling uncomfortably in my hips. Still, at least my costume was cutting the right figure. \u201cLooking sharp, buddy!\u201d a teenager lining up to board a tour bus yelled out.<\/p>\n<p>I downed some water in the shadow of the Commerce Department\u2014the stomping grounds of Howard Lutnick, yet another Cabinet secretary who reportedly owns a pair of Trump-gifted shoes\u2014before turning up Constitution Avenue toward the White House. The view was partially obscured by fencing, apparently an accommodation to one of Trump\u2019s other recent aesthetic choices: tearing down the building\u2019s decades-old East Wing to build a ballroom. Outside a suite of executive branch offices I spotted a dark-suited bald man carrying a file with the White House seal embossed on it. I pointed to his brown wing tips. \u201cThose Florsheims?\u201d I asked. \u201cYeah!\u201d he responded with a grin as I indicated my own pair in a gesture of solidarity. \u201cGame recognizes game,\u201d the aide who\u2019d been chattering in his ear said as they walked away.<\/p>\n<p>A few steps later I met Nick Mato, another suited dude whose footwear initially looked promising but turned out to be from a competitor brand. \u201cI don\u2019t have a pair, so I\u2019m not important enough,\u201d Mato confessed, seeming to confirm that Florsheims have become something of a status symbol inside the administration. (A CNN story about the phenomenon was headlined \u201cMale Shoe Anxiety Hits the Oval Office.\u201d) Mato declined to tell me what he does for Trump. But his LinkedIn lists him as a communications director for DOGE, Elon Musk\u2019s failed effort to cut wasteful government spending.<\/p>\n<p>After getting as close to the White House as security checkpoints would allow, I looped back toward the Capitol building. The sun was starting to dip lower, and it was at this point that the Florsheims really began to fail me. As I trudged up Pennsylvania Avenue, one of the blisters that had been steadily growing beneath my left sole finally popped, a brief bloom of pain that left me limping in the shadow of a city transformed by the president. I stopped to regroup outside the Waldorf Astoria, which used to be the Trump International Hotel and a locus of moneyed interests\u2019 efforts to curry favor with the first-term president. A block later I hobbled past the Justice Department, its facade festooned with a giant banner of Trump\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump-supporting Capitol rioters traversed a similar route five years ago, their target was Congress, where lawmakers were meeting to certify Joe Biden\u2019s victory. Mine was Butterworth\u2019s, a seductively lit French bistro that has become a popular hangout for off-the-clock Republican staffers under Trump 2.0. I sidled up to the bar with happy hour in full swing, feeling a little nauseated from the heat and mileage. The well-dressed Senate aide next door, who asked me not to use his name for fear of upsetting his boss, hadn\u2019t heard about Trump\u2019s fascination with Florsheim. And despite owning a pair of his own, brown Oxfords that he keeps under his desk at work, he didn\u2019t seem taken with the president\u2019s taste either. \u201cIf somebody gave me Florsheims as a gift, I would never be a snob about it,\u201d the staffer told me. \u201cI\u2019m not a shoe snob or anything. But, you know, if you\u2019re going to pay money for shoes \u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to podiatrists, the dangers of over- or undersized footwear are legion: bunions, corns, calluses, collapsed arches, ingrown nails, hammertoes, compressed nerves, swelling, numbness, joint pain, back pain, plantar fasciitis, and a heightened risk of tripping and stress fractures. Crawling into my hotel bed that evening, I cataloged the damage. The balls of both feet and the ends of both pointer toes had been mashed into misshapen blisters. The skin on both heels and a patch below my right pinkie had worn away, leaving behind angry pink abrasions. My feet were still aching when I boarded my flight home the next day.<\/p>\n<p>To Florsheim\u2019s credit, I doubt any other dress shoe would\u2019ve served me much better. Beyond a couple of scuff marks and some debris jammed into the treads, our sojourn had left the shoes looking much as they had when I\u2019d first taken them off the shelf. Yet as I wrangled them into my closet, something kept nagging at me like a pebble in an insole: Bernie Sanders\u2019 eye-rolling dismissal outside the Senate elevator. On the one hand, I couldn\u2019t really blame him. In these dark times, with a war on and inflation eating into Americans\u2019 livelihoods, it\u2019s objectively absurd to have played dress-up just to pester passersby about the president\u2019s favorite footwear.<\/p>\n<p>But with all due respect to the senator, I come away from this Florsheim-branded Washington travelogue thinking Sanders was wrong. An ill-fitting pair of shoes turns out to be a fitting talisman of the political world we\u2019ve collectively inhabited since 2016. In this world, the bizarre proclivities of one man can disturb the peace and rattle markets. (For Florsheim, that aspect of Trumpism has been a mixed bag; the president\u2019s fandom briefly juiced stock in the brand\u2019s parent company, but its founder\u2019s great-great-grandson has more recently groused about Trump\u2019s costly tariffs.) In this world, a president who should be focused on passing legislation or negotiating with Iran is acting as his adjutants\u2019 personal stylist\u2014the most loyal of whom are so submissive that they\u2019re willing to risk mangling their own feet just to follow in his footsteps. Our emperor may have no clothes. But he does have Florsheims.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=150\">Do Trans People Have \u201cStand Your Ground\u201d Rights?
